"Outlander"
Once a god who stood atop the hierarchy of war and combat, "Outlander", lived for the honor of the fight. He led armies, taught mortals the art of battle, and clashed with the strongest deities, even standing on equal ground with Kukona, the god of Destruction and Battle. But his insatiable lust for combat grew beyond even divine restraint. Honor became meaningless. Every living thing became his enemy, including his worshippers. His devotion to bloodshed reached a point where he slaughtered every follower himself, severing the source of his godhood and willingly casting himself into exile.
Now known only as “The Outlander,” he is no longer a deity, but a weapon given flesh. His body is a grotesque amalgamation of a thousand bonded armors, each plate and shard whispering with the voices of the warriors he’s slain. Every step he takes grinds and echoes like a battlefield. His strength is unmatched among the Exiled, and his presence alone radiates pure, suffocating aggression.
“The Outlander” stalks the surface and the Underdark alike, eternally searching for opponents strong enough to challenge him. He has no worshippers, no cause, and no allies. Only battle. Only destruction. To him, the world is nothing but an arena, and every soul is prey.
Formerly known as Kughar, god of Hostility.

Mental characteristics
Personal history
Kughar rose as a divine master of battle, once worshipped by warlords and soldiers across Baltharos. His obsession with combat grew to madness, driving him to exterminate his own followers. In his exile, his celestial form warped into an indestructible shell of fused armor, cursed to endlessly fight without purpose.
Intellectual Characteristics
Relentless, tactically brilliant, singularly focused on combat, merciless, and immune to fear or hesitation.
Morality & Philosophy
Conflict is the only true constant. Strength is the only virtue. All else, honor, peace, or mercy, is weakness to be crushed beneath his armor.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
To seek and destroy any being, mortal or divine, that can provide him with a battle worthy of his existence. His only desire is to die, or to find a foe strong enough to force him to live with purpose again.
Likes & Dislikes
Likes blood, war cries, endless combat, the smell of iron, and the sound of breaking steel.
Dislikes peace, diplomacy, cowardice, and any who run from battle.
Virtues & Personality perks
His physical strength dwarfs most other Exiled gods, his fused armor makes him nearly impervious to conventional weapons, and his mind is a vault of countless combat techniques. Facing him in a fight can be both a death sentence and the greatest martial lesson one can experience.
Vices & Personality flaws
Consumed entirely by violence; incapable of companionship or restraint. Will destroy potential allies simply for the sake of a fight. Has no endgame or purpose beyond his next kill, which makes his actions unpredictable even to himself.
Personality Quirks
The grinding of his armor is constant, even when he stands still. Before combat, he often pounds his own chest and shoulders, causing a deafening metallic echo. He whispers the names of fallen opponents before charging into battle.

Quotes & Catchphrases
"Steel shatters. Flesh tears. Only the will to fight decides who stands at the end. Show me your resolve… or die without meaning."
